Frenchman's Bend Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 10,661 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.8–5

Frenchman's Bend takes in 2 census tracts of Monroe, MI and houses 10,661 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 52%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Monroe rate of 35.7%. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 650 across 2 observed tracts. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 92.0% of renter households. Judgments average 18.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $949, close to the Monroe average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
