What drives eviction risk in Burton
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. At $239 a month, rents run 74% under what the rest of Flint commands. Disability prevalence runs 59.4% against 31.5% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 50.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 83%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Genesee County average of 45.3%.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Set annual rent against average income of $7,401 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
It sits 1.1 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3.
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.
