Columbia Park maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN, population 4,367. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs about one in five against 29.3% citywide, putting Columbia Park 8.7% under its own city. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
16% 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. Average gross rent is $1,632, 19% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
Court records for this tract carry 106 eviction filings. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 12.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.5% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #57 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Downtown East and Bryn Mawr. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $97,120.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
