Lincoln is a one-tract neighborhood of Fargo, ND and houses 4,390 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 36% against 26.3% citywide, putting Lincoln 10.0% over its own city. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. At $739 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Fargo commands. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #13 of 25 neighborhoods in Fargo. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 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.
