Cooper maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN and houses 3,596 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 42 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. At $1,507 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands.
The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #64 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. At 19% 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 Minnehaha and Audubon Park. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
