Echo Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Mahtomedi, MN, population 4,978. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 37% against 50.0% citywide, putting Echo Lake 13.5% under its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. 30% 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings.
3.4% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 1.1% of renter households. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 13% 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. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,755, close to the Mahtomedi average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
