What drives eviction risk in Flint
34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.
Cost burden runs 61% here against 45.3% across Genesee County. Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income of $25,809, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.1% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. At $1,009 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Flint commands. 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 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
