Mendota Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Dakota County average of 45.6%. At $2,341 a month, rents run 44% over what the rest of Mendota Heights commands.

The voucher gap is 38.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.9/10. SNAP participation runs 3.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Dakota County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 13 filings here across 5 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 3.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Paul. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
