· range 3.8–6.1
Minnehaha takes in 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 6,053. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 6.1. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,665, 21% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Filings are well documented here: 70 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.6% of adults, 11.2 points below the national rate.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 6.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #67 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.3 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.
