Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Vine
The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Kalamazoo County average of 4.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10.
This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10.
SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 101 evictions over 2 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Kalamazoo. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
