Grand Rapids Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 37.3% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $29,763, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $933, 26% below the Grand Rapids average. Against the Kent County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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