3 census tracts · pop 7,600 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.4/10
· range 5.2–6.9
Howe spans 3 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 7,600 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.2 to 6.9, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 13% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Court records carry 91 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 10.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,231, 10% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
The most recent observed rate, 4.6% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #44 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
