2 census tracts · pop 6,069 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10
· range 6.2–7.7
Bancroft spans 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 6,069 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.2 to 7.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 197 across 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 6.0% of renter households.
At $1,266 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. That places it #38 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
