Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crystal
The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,228, 16% below the Crystal average. The filing record is not thin: 59 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 7.9% of renter households.
In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Hennepin County average of 5.1 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
