Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Howell Township

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Livingston County average of 5.1 and above the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
