Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Willard-Hay

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 58% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County.

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 415 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 23.4% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.1% 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.

In a typical year about 17.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
