Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Livonia

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 6.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 5th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
