Little Canada takes in 2 census tracts of Bismarck, ND and houses 8,111 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Bismarck rate of 24.3%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Bismarck. For a like-for-like read, Edgewood North and Heritage Park/Ridge score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $71,981, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,057, close to the Bismarck average.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
