Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Howe

It sits 1.4 points above the Hennepin County average of 5.1. The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 5 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Minneapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing.

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.
