Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Novi

92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $1,200, 31% below the Novi average.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 36% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $63,095.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
