Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Branch

What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 7.3/10. 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 North Branch, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Chisago County average of 4.3 and in line with the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 4.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.5% of renter households in 2010.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
