What drives eviction risk in Old Forest
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.3/10. SNAP participation runs 35.2% against 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Ingham County average of 46.5%.
This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity runs 31.3% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10.
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.
