Vassar Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Burton, MI, population 5,344. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. 11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.3/10.
The voucher gap is 10.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Burton baseline of 30.8%, 28% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,093, 8% above the Burton average of $1,009.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $81,536, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
