Jordan takes in 3 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 8,418. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 29.3% citywide, putting Jordan 38.0% over its own city. SNAP participation is 36.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

20.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
