Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wolfe Park

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.3 points below the Hennepin County average of 5.1. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

Court records carry 88 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2011 at 1.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
