Michigan Center Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $981, 26% below the Michigan Center average. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Jackson County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $75,391, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
