Linden Hills Eviction Risk: Elevated
2 census tracts · pop 9,514 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 5.6–6.7
Linden Hills takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 9,514 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.6 to 6.7, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The severe-burden share is 14%. 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 one in three against 29.3% citywide, putting Linden Hills 5.2% over its own city.
Filings are well documented here: 109 across 2 observed tracts. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.3% of renter households.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,484, 8% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #49 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
