Madison Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

Cost burden runs 34% here against 39.8% across Oakland County. Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $1,287 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Madison Heights commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $67,679.

35% 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.
