Northview Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Kent County average of 4.2.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,414, 13% above the Northview average.

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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $106,900, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
