Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Historic Southside

It sits 2.4 points above the Washtenaw County average of 5.0. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $819 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Ypsilanti commands.

Court records carry 55 eviction filings across 1 observed years. SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 10.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
