Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waverly

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Cost burden runs 44% here against 35.6% across Eaton County.

The voucher gap is 17.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,320 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Waverly commands. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Eaton County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $71,858.

27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
