Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown West

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.3% against 31.5% nationally.

At $1,689 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Minneapolis commands. Against the Hennepin County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $83,750.

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