Cross Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,805 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Cross Creek maps to a single census tract in Rochester Hills, MI, population 5,805. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 27.0% citywide, putting Cross Creek 14.2% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,369, 17% below the Rochester Hills average of $1,644. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester Hills, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third.

Only 24% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Coolidge Highway and Stratford Knolls. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
