Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midland
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Midland County average of 5.6 and above the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 13.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 96 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 8.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.7% of renter households in 2016.
