Lowry Hill East Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 10,668 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7–7.7

Lowry Hill East is a 2-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 10,668 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 338 across 2 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Cost burden runs around a third against 29.3% citywide, putting Lowry Hill East 3.8% over its own city.

SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households.

At $1,493 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #32 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.

For a like-for-like read, South Uptown and Corcoran score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
