Hale Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,944 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Hale maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN and houses 3,944 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 29.3% citywide, putting Hale 12.9% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,853, 35% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 25 eviction filings.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.1% of renter households.

4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The voucher gap is 10.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2013 against a 3.1% peak. That places it #69 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
