East Main maps to a single census tract in Fargo, ND, population 2,968. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Fargo rate of 26.3%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of Fargo, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Westgate and Jefferson/Carl Ben score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $56,510, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $898, close to the Fargo average.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
