Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cranbrook
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.9/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Washtenaw County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 38 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
