Indian Trails Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,311 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Eden Prairie commands. 18% 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.

Against a Eden Prairie baseline of 26.9%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Court records carry 120 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

3.5% 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. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households.

4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
