Kingswood is a one-tract neighborhood of Okemos, MI, population 2,768. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. The voucher gap is 16.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 19.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Cost burden runs 34% against 29.4% citywide, putting Kingswood 4.2% over its own city. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Okemos, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,316, close to the Okemos average.
61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
