Grand Trunk Business Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 15,877 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.1–5.9

Grand Trunk Business Park takes in 4 census tracts of Port Huron, MI, population 15,877. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Port Huron rate of 36.6%.

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. What pushes the score up most is housing-court posture at 7.4/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. 14.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 27.1% of adults, 9.3 points above the national rate.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,076, 10% above the Port Huron average of $982. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 4 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $47,516. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
