What drives eviction risk in University
Cost burden runs 62% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County. Annualized rent equals 87% of average household income of $21,489, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.9 points. The poverty rate is 67%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
100% 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. Food insecurity runs 38.1% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9/10.
SNAP participation runs 31.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. At $1,559 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
