Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spring Lake

The filing record is not thin: 34 evictions over 1 years of observation. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2018 at 7.9% of renter households.
In a typical year about 7.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
