Folwell is a one-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 4,235 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
At $1,612 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands. The filing record is not thin: 389 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 28.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 13.4% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #39 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Central and Logan Park score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 6.9/10 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.
