Mendota Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 4.6/10. 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 Mendota Heights, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Dakota County average of 5.3 and below the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is White and multiracial or other-race and ranks around the 19th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 11 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 0.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.0% of renter households in 2011.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
