Briarwood maps to a single census tract in Okemos, MI, population 4,193. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate.
3.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Okemos, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.
Against average income of $102,985, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,329, close to the Okemos average.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
