Cameron Park Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,677 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cameron Park takes in 2 census tracts of Billings, MT and houses 8,677 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 29.6% citywide, putting Cameron Park 21.6% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,001, 12% below the Billings average of $1,138. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Billings, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ironwood and West Central.

Against average income of $103,354, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
