Pentagon Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Bloomington, MN, population 3,749. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Cost burden runs 40% against 28.5% citywide, putting Pentagon Park 11.0% over its own city. Court records for this tract carry 77 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 2.5% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.

Average gross rent is $1,409, 10% below the Bloomington average of $1,561. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.2% in 2013 against a 2.5% peak. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Bloomington.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $82,647.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
