Pontiac Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 57% here against 39.8% across Oakland County. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. It sits 2.5 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.7/10. SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,008, close to the Pontiac average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $55,823. 36% 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.
