Hawthorne takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 4,293. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. 73% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.
Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 41.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 41%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,461 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
At $1,106 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 792 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
20.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 29.7% of renter households.
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.
