WitMor Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Saginaw, MI, population 7,157. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is housing-court posture at 9.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. Cost burden runs 49% against 39.4% citywide, putting WitMor Heights 9.2% over its own city.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Saginaw, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Old Saginaw City and Buena Vista. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $975, close to the Saginaw average.
