Pine Ridge spans 2 census tracts of Vandercook Lake, MI, population 7,577. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Vandercook Lake rate of 26.4%.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 125 eviction filings. At $1,312 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Vandercook Lake commands. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.
SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
