Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Grandville

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Grand Rapids.

That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $90,281, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
