Beaver Lake maps to a single census tract in Maplewood, MN, population 5,918. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 31.7% citywide, putting Beaver Lake 12.5% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 166 evictions logged in this tract.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. At $1,238 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Maplewood commands. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 5.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Maplewood. Only 28% 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 Sherwood Park Neighborhood and Battle Creek. Against average income of $74,923, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
