Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norwayne
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
