East Comstock Eviction Risk: Moderate

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 3.1/10. Court records carry 42 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 12.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $66,303, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Kalamazoo County average of 4.8 closely.

Average gross rent runs $969 a month.

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.
