Westwynd is a one-tract neighborhood of West Fargo, ND, population 4,973. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 30% 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.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $807, 27% below the West Fargo average of $1,111.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the West Fargo rate of 26.6%.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of West Fargo, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Arbor Glen and South Charleswood score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
