Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Central
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.7/10.
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Yellowstone County average of 44.5%.
SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% 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 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Yellowstone County average of 3.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,089, close to the Billings average.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $70,512.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
