Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North St. Paul
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 4.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Ramsey County average of 6.0 and above the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 323 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 7.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.8% of renter households in 2014.
