· range 8–8
Midtown Phillips takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 9,867. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. SNAP participation is 34.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the high side is economic stress at 8.5/10. 19.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Filings are well documented here: 618 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,209, 12% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 12.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
