Flint Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 44.8% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, economic stress reads 6.9/10. Average gross rent is $833, 9% below the Flint average.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Flint. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
