Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brooklyn Centre
Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 43.0% across Cuyahoga County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity runs 35.6% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Cuyahoga County average of 4.6.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Court records carry 1,133 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 13.6% of renter households were served. 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 11.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
