Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brooklyn Center

Cost burden runs 65% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $46,094, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Food insecurity runs 26.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
