Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 26139022001
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Court records carry 55 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Filings peaked in 2018 at 17.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 17.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 4.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $86,250, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
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.
