Waterstone is a one-tract neighborhood of Maple Grove, MN, population 6,401. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 26.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.6/10. Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate.
3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $2,130, 14% above the Maple Grove average of $1,868. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Maple Grove, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
