Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lake Elmo

The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 44.0% across Washington County. The voucher gap is 32.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.2/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 67 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2012 at 19.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 17.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
