· range 6.2–7.9
Eastview spans 7 census tracts of St. Paul, MN and houses 33,628 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the St. Paul rate of 30.0%.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.2 to 7.9, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Court records carry 2,718 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 27.0% of adults, 9.2 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 23.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. At $1,199 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of St. Paul commands.
That places it #9 of 23 neighborhoods in St. Paul. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $65,764. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
