Harvest West maps to a single census tract in Chaska, MN, population 6,629. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chaska rate of 26.5%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,824 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Chaska commands. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate.
Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Chevalle and Camden Ridge Twins score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $164,875, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
