Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wyoming

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Kent County average of 4.2. At $953 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Wyoming commands.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Grand Rapids. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $58,886. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
