Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brainerd
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 65 evictions over 14 years of observation.
It sits 0.7 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Filings peaked in 2002 at 15.0% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 4% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
