Meadowbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 987 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Meadowbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Rochester Hills, MI and houses 987 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 100% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 100% against 27.0% citywide, putting Meadowbrook 73.0% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 100%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 26.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Disability prevalence reaches 46.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Rochester Hills.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Pine Trail and Auburn Highlands.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
