Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chapel Hill

What moves this score most is housing court bias at 7.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Ottawa County average of 5.4 and in line with the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 5.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 3.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 6 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 5.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.0% of renter households in 2018.
