Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Groesbeck

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,103, 11% above the Lansing average. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $60,714.

48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
