· range 4.3–5.3
Springbrook takes in 2 census tracts of Fridley, MN, population 8,333. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Fridley baseline of 28.4%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 5.3, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 366 across 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 10.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.9% in 2012, is well off that peak. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,374, close to the Fridley average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 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.
