Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Flint

Against Genesee County at 45.3%, 74% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 34.1% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 31.9% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,122, 23% above the Flint average.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Genesee County average of 4.3. The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
