Flint Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $385 a month, rents run 58% under what the rest of Flint commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 41.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

SNAP participation runs 72.4% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Genesee County at 45.3%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

82% 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. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
