Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Village Neighborhood

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,062, 16% above the Flint average. 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.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Genesee County average of 4.3 closely.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $66,997. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
