Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairgrove
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Tuscola County average of 5.2 and in line with the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 11.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 5.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.9% of renter households in 2017.
