Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Novi

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 32.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.2/10. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 38% of renters. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,819, close to the Novi average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $104,534.

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.
