Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Osgood

This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,161, 23% above the Fargo average. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $80,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 37% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
