Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Powderhorn Park
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10. Court records carry 199 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
At $1,176 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
