Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kerrytown

What moves this score most is economic stress 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 Washtenaw County average of 6.0 and above the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.9% of renter households in 2014.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 32nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
