Thompson Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Coon Rapids, MN and houses 6,927 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Coon Rapids rate of 32.7%.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.3, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.
Filings are well documented here: 150 across 2 observed tracts. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households. At $1,331 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Coon Rapids commands.
The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in Coon Rapids.
For a like-for-like read, Summer Chase and Elizabeth Court score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $74,960.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
