· range 3–3
Lake Cornelia takes in 2 census tracts of Edina, MN and houses 7,465 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Edina rate of 29.7%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The voucher gap is 28.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 4.5% of adults, 13.3 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $2,172, 18% above the Edina average of $1,844.
Filings are well documented here: 24 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 2.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.8% in 2012 against a 2.9% peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Edina, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third.
At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Browndale and Normandale Park score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
