Cost burden runs 35% against 29.6% citywide, putting North Elevation 5.2% over its own city. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #10 of 15 neighborhoods in Billings. The closest comparables inside the same city are Billings Heights and Highland. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
