· range 3.6–3.6
Mercy maps to a single census tract in Champlin, MN, population 6,999. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
25% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Champlin rate of 33.3%. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 70 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 21.7% of renter households. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2013, is well off that peak. Only 4% 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. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,707, close to the Champlin average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
