Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brooklyn Center

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 7.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Brooklyn Center eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Hennepin County average of 5.6 and below the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is White and Asian and ranks around the 69th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.06x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
