North Loop spans 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 7,349 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $2,119, 55% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
The voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.2 to 7.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 18.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
SNAP participation is 5.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #57 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis. The closest comparables inside the same city are Downtown East and Columbia Park.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $125,238.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
