Midland Eviction Risk: Lower

29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Midland County average of 40.9%. At $717 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Midland commands.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $78,977, annual rent is just 11%. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Midland County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
