Heritage Hill Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Grand Rapids

This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,003, 21% below the Grand Rapids average.

Against the Kent County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 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 7.5/10 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.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.

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.
