Lowry Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,036 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 6.3–6.3

Lowry Hill maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN, population 4,036. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. SNAP participation is 3.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 79 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households.

4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Average gross rent is $1,232, 10% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371.

The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #46 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.

For a like-for-like read, Nicollet Island-East Bank and Cleveland score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $90,662, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 6.3/10 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.
