Madison/Unicorn Park Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 5,038 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6
Madison/Unicorn Park takes in 2 census tracts of Fargo, ND and houses 5,038 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 26.3% citywide, putting Madison/Unicorn Park 21.0% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $856, 10% below the Fargo average of $946. That places it #1 of 25 neighborhoods in Fargo. For a like-for-like read, Brunsdale and Riverwood 2nd Addition score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
