Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Burnsville

What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 7.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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