SNAP participation runs 31.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Genesee County average of 45.3%. Average gross rent is $1,113, 22% above the Flint average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

It tracks the Genesee County average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $56,600.
