Sibley Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 11,991 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.3

Sibley spans 4 census tracts of Riverview, MI, population 11,991. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10. Against a Riverview baseline of 27.7%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $1,076, close to the Riverview average.

With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
