Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kingston
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kingston, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Tuscola County average of 5.2 and in line with the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 18 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 4.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.4% of renter households in 2017.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
