What drives eviction risk in Flint
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
SNAP participation runs 54.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $25,278 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
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. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
