Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lamont

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1/10. Against Ottawa County at 38.7%, 27% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the Ottawa County average of 3.8. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $99,006, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
