Novi Township Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 10,407 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.4

Novi Township is a 3-tract suburb of Novi, MI and houses 10,407 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 31.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

On the high side is supply constraint at 8.1/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Against average income of $129,352, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 3 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,814, close to the Novi average.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
