Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bloomingdale
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.9/10.
10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10.
At $799 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Bloomingdale commands. Against the Van Buren County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $64,467, annual rent is just 15%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
