Elliot Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN, population 6,788. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.3% citywide, putting Elliot Park 22.1% over its own city.
32% 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. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,059, 23% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371. Filings are well documented here: 444 across 2 observed tracts.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2013 against a 3.8% peak.
That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. For a like-for-like read, Webber-Camden and Sumner-Glenwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $50,002.
With little internal variation, 8/10 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.
