· range 6.2–7.8
Powderhorn Park spans 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN and houses 6,300 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Minneapolis rate of 29.3%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.2 to 7.8. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Court records carry 262 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 5.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.5% in 2013 against a 5.0% peak. That places it #33 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.
For a like-for-like read, Lyndale and Bryant score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $79,325, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,304, close to the Minneapolis average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
