Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hiawatha
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,672 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Court records carry 62 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
