Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willow Village
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $61,505, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
SNAP participation runs 26.5% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Washtenaw County average of 46.5%. Court records carry 389 eviction filings across 1 observed years.
It sits 0.8 points above the Washtenaw County average of 5.0. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 52.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 52.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 23% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
