Inver Grove Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Dakota County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Cost burden runs about half here against 45.6% across Dakota County. The filing record is not thin: 48 evictions over 5 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2009, when 18.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 2% 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 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
