Bismarck Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 44% here against 34.1% across Burleigh County.

Average gross rent is $1,217, 22% above the Bismarck average. SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 19.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Burleigh County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $101,435, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
