Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lexington
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.9/10. 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 Lexington, 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 122 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 10.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.0% of renter households in 2011.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
