Poppleton maps to a single census tract in Birmingham, MI, population 2,271. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,500 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Birmingham commands.
21% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Birmingham rate of 26.6%. Food insecurity affects 5.1% of adults, 12.7 points below the national rate.
3.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Birmingham, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Quarton and Barnum score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $189,514, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
