Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willard-Hay
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 328 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
Housing insecurity runs 22.3% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 22.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 23.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 22.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
