Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Potter-Walsh

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely. 54% 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.
