Cleveland is a 2-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 6,577 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. 45% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,107 a month, rents sit 54% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands.
The voucher gap is 25.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Court records carry 306 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 18.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.0% in 2013 against a 18.4% peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third.
Only 21% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Howe and Regina. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 6.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
