Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Coopersville
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Coopersville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as 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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 170 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 41.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 41.4% of renter households in 2018.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
