Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stevens Square
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. 77% 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.
Cost burden runs 53% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,031, 25% below the Minneapolis average.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 533 evictions over 5 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.2% of renter households were served. 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. In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, 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.
