Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Columbia Heights
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Against the Anoka County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 63 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2009, when 7.1% of renter households were served.
Average gross rent is $1,189, 8% below the Columbia Heights average. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 25% 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 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
