Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Columbia Park
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $1,632, 19% above the Minneapolis average.
SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points above the Hennepin County average of 5.1.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 106 filings here across 5 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2009 at 12.6% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
