Wenonah Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,150 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Wenonah is a one-tract neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN and houses 3,150 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 71% against 29.3% citywide, putting Wenonah 41.5% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,081, 21% below the Minneapolis average of $1,371. Court records for this tract carry 210 eviction filings.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 8.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 7.4% in 2013 against a 8.5% peak. That places it #1 of 75 neighborhoods in Minneapolis.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
