Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jackson
What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Jackson eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Jackson County average of 5.7 and above the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 902 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 18.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 28.4% of renter households in 2017.
In CDC survey modeling, about 30.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 26.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
