Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Morris Park

This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.3/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.2/10.

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. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Hennepin County average of 5.1 closely.

Average gross rent runs $598 a month. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $26,168.

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