Longfellow is a 2-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 5,376 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
At $1,148 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Court records carry 382 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 8.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #21 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.
For a like-for-like read, Marshall Terrace and Mid-City Industrial score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
