Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Madison Heights

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

Average gross rent is $902, 23% below the Madison Heights average. Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $81,131, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
