Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Michigan Center
Average gross rent is $873, 34% below the Michigan Center average. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10.
47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Jackson County average of 38.3%. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
It sits 0.9 points below the Jackson County average of 4.1. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10. 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
Against average income of $62,250, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
