Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willard-Hay
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 7.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Hennepin County average of 5.6 and above the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 39 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 4.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.6% of renter households in 2009.
