Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dicken

Average gross rent is $2,898, 76% above the Ann Arbor average. The voucher gap is 80.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 1 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
