Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Zeeland

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Court records carry 1 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The worst year on record was 2018, when 0.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 13% 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 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $100,518, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
