Redwood is a 4-tract neighborhood of Apple Valley, MN and houses 19,508 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Apple Valley baseline of 31.2%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Filings are well documented here: 214 across 3 observed tracts. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 10.7% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The most recent observed rate, 4.6% in 2013, is well off that peak. At $1,629 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Apple Valley commands.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Apple Valley. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 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.
