HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Minnehaha

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,611, 18% above the Minneapolis average.

It sits 1.0 points above the Hennepin County average of 5.1. The filing record is not thin: 58 evictions over 5 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.3% 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
