Hunters Creek is a 2-tract neighborhood of Auburn Hills, MI and houses 8,858 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Auburn Hills baseline of 26.5%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $1,433, close to the Auburn Hills average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $68,341. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
