King Field Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,364 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6.1–6.1

King Field maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN, population 4,364. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 21% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%. Court records for this tract carry 64 eviction filings.

SNAP participation is 4.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,490, 9% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.5% in 2013 against a 3.5% peak.

Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #51 by risk, the lower third. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 6.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
