Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jackson
The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Jackson eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Jackson County average of 5.7 and above the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,467 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 30.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 37.3% of renter households in 2011.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
