Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northridge Heights

Average gross rent is $2,286, 112% above the Kalispell average. The voucher gap is 39.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.9/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $77,019, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Flathead County average of 44.9%.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Flathead County average of 3.8 closely.

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.
