Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willow
Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 46.5% across Ingham County.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,055, close to the Lansing average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $50,923. 41% 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.
