Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Uptown
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Hennepin County average of 5.1.
66% 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. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 124 evictions over 5 years of observation. At $1,246 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 2.2% of renter households. 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
