Terry Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,179 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Terry takes in 2 census tracts of Billings, MT and houses 7,179 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Against a Billings baseline of 29.6%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

32% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $952, 16% below the Billings average of $1,138.

Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Billings, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, East Downtown and Phillips score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $45,037. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
