Navajo Ridge maps to a single census tract in Okemos, MI, population 4,819. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 29.4% citywide, putting Navajo Ridge 3.8% under its own city. Average gross rent is $1,150, 11% below the Okemos average of $1,298.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Okemos, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
