Indian Hills maps to a single census tract in Okemos, MI, population 4,939. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Okemos baseline of 29.4%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Okemos, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Kingswood and Navajo Ridge score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,293, close to the Okemos average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $58,516. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
