Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Humboldt Industrial Area
Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 117 evictions over 5 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $1,207, 12% below the Minneapolis average. Filings peaked in 2009 at 10.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Minneapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 10.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 12% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10.
