Longfellow is a one-tract neighborhood of Fargo, ND and houses 5,051 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 26.3% citywide, putting Longfellow 32.1% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,553, 64% above the Fargo average of $946. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 53.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 5.1% of adults, 12.7 points below the national rate.
Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of Fargo, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
