Homestead is a one-tract neighborhood of West Fargo, ND and houses 3,920 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. 29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.
That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in West Fargo. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arbor Glen and Westwynd.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,086, close to the West Fargo average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
