Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eaton Rapids
Average gross rent is $1,310, 35% above the Eaton Rapids average. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10. The voucher gap is 16.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions over 8 years of observation.
Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Eaton County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 20.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
