Grand Rapids Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. SNAP participation runs 34.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.2 points above the Kent County average of 4.2. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. At $1,136 a month, rents run 10% 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. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
