Eastpointe Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,556, 17% above the Eastpointe average. SNAP participation runs 24.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Macomb County average of 3.9. The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $70,833.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
