Wolfe Park maps to a single census tract in St. Louis Park, MN and houses 5,367 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 26.2% citywide, putting Wolfe Park 17.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 15% 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.
Court records for this tract carry 88 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.8% 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.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 1.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of St. Louis Park, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Eliot and Bronx Park score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,726, close to the St. Louis Park average.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
