Northome is a 3-tract neighborhood of St. Paul, MN, population 14,244. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the St. Paul rate of 30.0%.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.2 to 6.9, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records carry 157 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.2% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,149, 10% below the St. Paul average of $1,281.
That places it #20 of 23 neighborhoods in St. Paul. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
