Bennett is a one-tract neighborhood of Fargo, ND and houses 5,437 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,230, 30% above the Fargo average of $946.
36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Fargo rate of 26.3%. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #20 of 25 neighborhoods in Fargo. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rose Creek and Bluemont Lakes. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 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.
