Miles/Garland Eviction Risk: Elevated , Ypsilanti

Against the Washtenaw County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.4 points. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 26.2% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 123 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Cost burden runs 51% here against 46.5% across Washtenaw County. Average gross rent is $974, 10% below the Ypsilanti average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 25.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 25.1% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
