Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bennett
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. At $1,230 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Fargo commands.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
SNAP participation runs 3.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $113,750, annual rent is just 13%.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
