Kentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. Against the Kent County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,336, close to the Kentwood average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $84,090. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
