· range 3.4–3.9
Bloomington Ferry spans 2 census tracts of Bloomington, MN, population 7,591. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Bloomington rate of 28.5%.
33% 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 1.7/10. At $1,164 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Bloomington commands.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 4.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Bloomington. Only 10% 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.
For a like-for-like read, Pentagon Park and Braemar Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
