Downtown maps to a single census tract in Minot, ND, population 3,099. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Minot rate of 24.3%.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Average gross rent is $728, 25% below the Minot average of $973. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Minot.
For a like-for-like read, Eastwood Park and West Minot score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $33,500. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5/10 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.
