Ham Lake Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Against Anoka County at 43.4%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Anoka County average of 4.2. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 36 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2009, when 7.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $134,563, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
