These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North End
Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Ramsey County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 847 evictions over 7 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,150, 10% below the St. Paul average. Filings peaked in 2010 at 10.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 7.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 3.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
