Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ham Lake
Cost burden runs 80% here against 43.4% across Anoka County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 4 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2011, when 16.1% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 10.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 3% 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 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
