Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Phillips West
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Average gross rent is $959, 30% below the Minneapolis average. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 24.4% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 283 evictions over 5 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 4.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Minneapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
