Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Allegan
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 780 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 10.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.2% of renter households in 2011.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 69th 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.
