Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Morris
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.2/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9.1/10. Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 30.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $884 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Mount Morris commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Flint. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
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.
