Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Central
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.4 points above the Hennepin County average of 5.1. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.
Court records carry 109 eviction filings across 5 observed years. At $1,535 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Filings peaked in 2009 at 8.0% of renter households.
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 5.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.
Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
