Parkwood Knolls is a 2-tract neighborhood of Edina, MN, population 10,938. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Edina baseline of 29.7%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. 19% 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.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.3, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 131 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 6.9% of adults, 10.9 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 6.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 11 neighborhoods in Edina.
For a like-for-like read, Creekside and Browndale score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,788, close to the Edina average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
