Hawthorne Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,249 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Hawthorne maps to a single census tract in Fargo, ND, population 3,249. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 35% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Fargo rate of 26.3%. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.

At $843 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Fargo commands. That places it #17 of 25 neighborhoods in Fargo.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodhaven and South High. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
