Harrison Eviction Risk: High

3 census tracts · pop 8,764 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Harrison is a 3-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 8,764 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 29.3% citywide, putting Harrison 25.9% over its own city.

37% 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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 28.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,127 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands.

Court records carry 688 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 17.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 10.1% in 2013, is well off that 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 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
