Richfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 59% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 70 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Hennepin County average of 5.1 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,464, close to the Richfield average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $72,151.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
