Cedar Knolls spans 3 census tracts of Apple Valley, MN, population 10,803. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 31.2% citywide, putting Cedar Knolls 29.9% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,073, 38% below the Apple Valley average of $1,738. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.3 to 4.9. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Apple Valley, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Scott Highlands and Old Town score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $108,834, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
