Grand Rapids Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 29.1% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Kent County average of 4.2.

Housing insecurity runs 21.6% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,163 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Grand Rapids commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
