Parkview Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Kalamazoo, MI, population 1,650. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Kalamazoo rate of 34.5%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 26% 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.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.4/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 48 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 8.2% of renter households. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.0% in 2018 against a 8.2% peak. Average gross rent is $1,145, 6% above the Kalamazoo average of $1,078.
That places it #10 of 16 neighborhoods in Kalamazoo. The closest comparables inside the same city are Edison and Oakwood. Against average income of $74,063, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
