Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midtown Phillips
Cost burden runs 64% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.9 points.
The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 38.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9/10. Set annual rent against average income of $51,102 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 399 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 12.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
