Gateway takes in 2 census tracts of Bismarck, ND, population 9,930. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Bismarck baseline of 24.3%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Bismarck.
