Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Forest Ridge

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Genesee County average of 4.3. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $683 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Linden commands. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $77,434, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
