Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Diamond Lake

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened.

It sits 1.4 points below the Hennepin County average of 5.1. Average gross rent is $1,092, 22% below the Richfield average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
