Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Longfellow

The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Hennepin County average of 43.1%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,134, 17% below the Minneapolis average.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 91 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 7.5% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
