Kalispell Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points below the Flathead County average of 3.8.

Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $983, 9% below the Kalispell average. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $87,255, annual rent is just 14%.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
