Oaklawn is a 2-tract neighborhood of Dundas, MN and houses 9,038 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Dundas baseline of 20.0%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,005 a month, rents sit 46% under what the rest of Dundas commands. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 31 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. Against average income of $79,327, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
