Osgood Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,477 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Osgood spans 2 census tracts of Fargo, ND, population 10,477. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 26.3% citywide, putting Osgood 12.3% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,300, 37% above the Fargo average of $946. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 28.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 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.

SNAP participation is 4.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of Fargo, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
