The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,064 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Filings are well documented here: 815 across 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 7.2% of renter households.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
