Clinton River Valley Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,175 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Clinton River Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Rochester Hills, MI and houses 4,175 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

The voucher gap is 23.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The severe-burden share is 15%. 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 5.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.3/10.

Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. That places it #12 of 20 neighborhoods in Rochester Hills.

Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,698, close to the Rochester Hills average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
