Pig's Eye is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Paul, MN, population 1,930. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 30.0% citywide, putting Pig's Eye 22.8% over its own city.
36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. At $1,038 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of St. Paul commands.
The filing record is not thin: 133 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.5% in 2015 against a 7.4% peak.
One tract means one number: 7.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
