Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ham Lake
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 8.1/10. 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 Ham Lake, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as 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 14 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 10.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.1% of renter households in 2011.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
