Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Big Sky

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.7/10. Cost burden runs 35% here against 43.5% across Gallatin County.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Gallatin County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 21% 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 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
