Old Saginaw City Eviction Risk: Elevated

70% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Saginaw County average of 48.1%. What pushes it up most is housing-court posture at 9.1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10. It sits 1.7 points above the Saginaw County average of 4.3. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

SNAP participation runs 28.7% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $888, close to the Saginaw average.
