What drives eviction risk in Indian Hills
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 46.5% across Ingham County. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.8/10. Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
The voucher gap is 14.7%: 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 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,293, close to the Okemos average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $58,516.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
