· range 4.9–6.1
Franklin takes in 3 census tracts of Virginia, MN, population 8,415. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
Against a Virginia baseline of 31.0%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
16% 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. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.9 to 6.1. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. Against average income of $49,915, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $796, close to the Virginia average.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
