Torry maps to a single census tract in Birmingham, MI, population 4,778. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 49.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. roughly one in four of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Average gross rent is $2,063, 8% above the Birmingham average of $1,902. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Birmingham, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $121,881.
37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
