Forest Lake Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs around a third here against 44.0% across Washington County. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

At $1,064 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Forest Lake commands. It sits 0.9 points above the Washington County average of 4.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 3 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 4.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $72,604, annual rent is just 18%. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
