Lowell Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Kent County average of 4.2.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $123,514, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,104, close to the Lowell average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
