Crescent Ponds is a 3-tract neighborhood of Blaine, MN, population 10,962. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Against a Blaine baseline of 27.1%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 4.5, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $1,946 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Blaine commands. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Blaine, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $102,920.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
