Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westlawn
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 60% here against 46.5% across Washtenaw County.
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Set annual rent against average income of $40,974 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 565 evictions over 1 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Against the Washtenaw County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 37.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 37.0% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
