Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Village Neighborhood

Average gross rent is $368, 60% below the Flint average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 36.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity runs 57.1% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 51%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average income of $12,336 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 45.3% across Genesee County.

Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. 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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10.
