What drives eviction risk in Northview
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. At $1,544 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Northview commands. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10.
11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.2 closely.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $76,193.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
