Colonial Square Cooperative Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 11,341 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.7/10 · range 6–7.2

Colonial Square Cooperative spans 4 census tracts of Ann Arbor, MI and houses 11,341 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Ann Arbor rate of 37.4%.

The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,145, 31% below the Ann Arbor average of $1,649.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 118 across 4 observed tracts. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 5.6% of renter households. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Ann Arbor, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Germantown and Uplands of Scio Ridge. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $58,797.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
