Cari Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Hastings, MN and houses 9,057 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Cost burden runs 35% against 25.7% citywide, putting Cari Park 9.4% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

At $1,394 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Hastings commands. Court records for this tract carry 62 eviction filings.

SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 9.7% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2013, is well off that peak. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 3 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
