Sumner-Glenwood Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,210 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Sumner-Glenwood maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN, population 3,210. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 71% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 41.3% of adults, 23.5 points above the national rate. 22.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 190 evictions logged in this tract.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 8.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. At $1,282 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.

For a like-for-like read, Harrison and Stevens Square score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
