Southdale maps to a single census tract in Edina, MN and houses 2,917 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 29.7% citywide, putting Southdale 15.4% over its own city.
Set annual rent against average household income of $67,569 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 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.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 25 eviction filings.
The voucher gap is 14.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 0.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 0.7% in 2013 against a 0.9% peak.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Edina, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parklawn and Centennial Lakes.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
