Armatage spans 3 census tracts of Edina, MN, population 12,400. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.2. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records carry 148 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 7.2% of adults, 10.6 points below the national rate.

4.0% 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. Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 29.7% citywide, putting Armatage 3.3% under its own city. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 5.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Edina, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parklawn and Southdale.
