Clarkston Eviction Risk: Elevated

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 47.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.9/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 52.2% across DeKalb County. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Housing insecurity runs 32.7% against 14.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $36,807, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,132 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Clarkston commands.

Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
