Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fennville
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Allegan County average of 3.9. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.
21% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Allegan County average of 27.8%. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 178 filings here across 8 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2012 at 13.5% of renter households.
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.
