Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westside

This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.7/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Missoula County average of 4.2.

At $1,069 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Missoula commands. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MT average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
