Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Livonia
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 5.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Wayne County average of 6.4 and below the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 7.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 44th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
