Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Longfellow
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $1,553 a month, rents run 64% over what the rest of Fargo commands. The voucher gap is 53.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 2.8% against 15.2% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 4.8% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.2/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $115,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
