Catlin Courts Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,304 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Catlin Courts maps to a single census tract in Duluth, MN, population 1,304. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 31.8% citywide, putting Catlin Courts 17.5% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,490, 37% above the Duluth average of $1,087. The voucher gap is 30.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 7.5% of adults, 10.3 points below the national rate. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $87,250. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
