HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Prospect Park
Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.9 points.
The poverty rate is 50%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $33,775 and the ratio lands at 46%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the high side, local political climate reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 29.0% against 17.8% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
