Lyndale takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 8,044. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.4 to 8, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 483 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. At $1,171 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 4.5% of renter households.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #33 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 19% 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 7.2 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.
