Dayton's Bluff Eviction Risk: Elevated , St. Paul

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Ramsey County average of 5.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Ramsey County at 47.3%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 406 filings here across 7 tracked years. At $1,410 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of St. Paul commands.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 13.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 12.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #10,727 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10. Statewide the MN average is 4.5, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.

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.
