· range 8–8
Prospect Park spans 2 census tracts of Minneapolis, MN, population 8,389. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.3/10. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 53 eviction filings. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households. Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Harrison and Stevens Square score within a fraction of it.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
