Staples takes in 3 census tracts of Bayport, MN and houses 7,371 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far below the Bayport rate of 51.0%.
At $947 a month, rents sit 53% under what the rest of Bayport commands. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 6.5, a 3.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 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. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Court records carry 56 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.2% of renter households.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $81,231, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
