Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Whittier
This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County.
The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $46,943, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 230 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
