About eviction risk in Grygla, MN

Grygla, MN has an eviction risk score of 3.6 out of 10, placing it in the low-risk tier for landlords operating in Pennington County and the state of Minnesota. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 24.0% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Grygla is $713/month. About 17.6% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 7.7%, unemployment 1.8%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

What this score means for landlords

At 3.6/10, Grygla is a lower-risk environment. Standard screening, documented notices, and prompt action on non-payment typically resolve quickly. Still follow your state's specific notice and service requirements.
