Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westland
92% 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. Severe burden reaches 24%.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. SNAP participation runs 24.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 25.8% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,042 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Westland commands.
