Ferndale Eviction Risk: Moderate

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.6/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.2/10. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

Average gross rent is $1,200, 8% below the Ferndale average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 36% of renters. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $78,173.

52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
