Quarton maps to a single census tract in Birmingham, MI, population 4,078. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 26.6% citywide, putting Quarton 17.4% over its own city.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 62.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,239, 18% above the Birmingham average of $1,902. 3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
2.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Birmingham.
At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Poppleton and Barnum. 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.
