Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stevens Square
The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 51% here against 43.1% across Hennepin County.
At $1,083 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 282 filings here across 5 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.0% 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 3.5 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
