Kilmer is a one-tract neighborhood of Minnetonka, MN and houses 2,389 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Against a Minnetonka baseline of 28.6%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,714, close to the Minnetonka average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
