Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ventura Village
Average gross rent is $814, 41% below the Minneapolis average. This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Housing insecurity runs 33.0% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.0% against 11.3% nationally.
Court records carry 224 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 48% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.7% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
