Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Burton
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Genesee County average of 45.3%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 11% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Genesee County average of 4.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,033, close to the Burton average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $67,531.
