Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Linden Hills
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.
SNAP participation runs 4.7% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 71 evictions over 5 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 1.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #14,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
