Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Martin Lake
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 6.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Martin Lake, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Anoka County average of 5.3 and in line with the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 11.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.1% of renter households in 2011.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
