Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Diamond Lake
The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,597, 16% above the Minneapolis average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 4 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 7.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.2/10.
Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $173,382, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
