West Coon Rapids takes in 2 census tracts of Brooklyn Park, MN, population 10,806. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 18% against 33.0% citywide, putting West Coon Rapids 14.7% under its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,271, 71% above the Brooklyn Park average of $1,325. The voucher gap is 34.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.5/10. 14% 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.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 57 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 16.7% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2013, is well off that peak. At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Pleasure Creek and Port Riverwalk score within a fraction of it.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
