Westgate maps to a single census tract in Fargo, ND and houses 3,685 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Cost burden runs 33% against 26.3% citywide, putting Westgate 6.9% over its own city. 11% 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.
At $801 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Fargo commands. That places it #11 of 25 neighborhoods in Fargo. The closest comparables inside the same city are East Main and Jefferson/Carl Ben.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $45,767.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
