What drives eviction risk in Rondo

Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $22,500, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Court records carry 118 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 4.2% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Paul. 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing.
