Lenox is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Louis Park, MN and houses 2,367 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 21 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 3.0% of renter households.
5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis Park, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brooklawns and Westwood Hills.
Against average income of $120,938, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,592, close to the St. Louis Park average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
