Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brainerd
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity runs 28.6% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 23.9% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 364 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 8.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing.
