University maps to a single census tract in Minneapolis, MN and houses 6,843 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 49%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Annualized rent equals 87% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against a Minneapolis baseline of 29.3%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 67%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is a renter market: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Food insecurity affects 38.1% of adults, 20.3 points above the national rate. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. SNAP participation is 31.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,559, 14% above the Minneapolis average of $1,371.
Among the 75 mapped neighborhoods of Minneapolis, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
