Farwell Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,691 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Farwell maps to a single census tract in Warren, MI and houses 4,691 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Warren rate of 32.9%.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 17.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 30.6% of adults, 12.8 points above the national rate. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,336, 9% above the Warren average of $1,225.

That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Warren. For a like-for-like read, Butler and Conner Creek score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $50,385. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
