Amhurst is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hopkins, MN, population 6,281. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Hopkins baseline of 29.3%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,433, close to the Hopkins average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $60,178.
With little internal variation, 7.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
