· range 3.4–3.4
Plainfield Charter Township maps to a single census tract in Comstock Park, MI and houses 5,274 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Comstock Park rate of 32.2%. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate.
At $1,047 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Comstock Park commands. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
