Grand Rapids Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Kent County at 43.7%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Kent County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. At $1,116 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Grand Rapids commands.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Grand Rapids. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $71,731.

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.
