Spring Lake Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Spring Lake Park, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Anoka County average of 5.3 and above the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 2.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.4% of renter households in 2012.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 88th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
