Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Grandville

Against Kent County at 43.7%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.2 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,190, close to the Grandville average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $71,875. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
