Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fennville
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Allegan County average of 5.2 and below the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
