Argonne Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 16,405 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–3.8

Argonne spans 3 census tracts of Lakeville, MN, population 16,405. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Lakeville baseline of 32.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.

Filings are well documented here: 370 across 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 12.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 16.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $124,398, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
