Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Madison Heights

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,150, close to the Madison Heights average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $69,144.

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.
