Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North St. Paul
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 4.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Ramsey County average of 6.0 and above the Minnesota statewide average of 5.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
