Aquila maps to a single census tract in St. Louis Park, MN and houses 3,745 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 26.2% citywide, putting Aquila 13.6% over its own city.
26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,300 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of St. Louis Park commands. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 181 eviction filings.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 9.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 12 neighborhoods in St. Louis Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $63,125.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
