Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Scott Highlands

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.6% across Dakota County.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 19 filings here across 5 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 11.3% of renter households. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2013, is well off that peak.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10. Against average income of $123,781, annual rent is just 18%.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
