Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Madison Heights
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Average gross rent is $1,218, close to the Madison Heights average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $71,804.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
