Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mid-City Industrial
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 42% here against 47.3% across Ramsey County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 43 filings here across 7 tracked years.
Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.1% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
