Roosevelt/NDSU Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,177 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Roosevelt/NDSU maps to a single census tract in Fargo, ND and houses 4,177 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 45% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 61% against 26.3% citywide, putting Roosevelt/NDSU 34.7% over its own city. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $848, 10% below the Fargo average of $946. Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of Fargo, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $33,087.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
