Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rondo
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 70 filings here across 7 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.
Against the Ramsey County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2011 at 1.6% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 1.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10.
Against average income of $84,856, annual rent is just 17%.
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.
