Humboldt Industrial Area takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 7,531 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.6/10, Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $924, 33% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
19% 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. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Filings are well documented here: 399 across 2 observed tracts.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 16.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.6% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #27 by risk, the middle third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $71,782, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 7.6/10 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.
