Pine Trail Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pine Trail is a one-tract neighborhood of Rochester Hills, MI and houses 3,370 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 54.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 38% against 27.0% citywide, putting Pine Trail 10.6% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $2,127, 29% above the Rochester Hills average of $1,644. 17% 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. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side 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 Meadowbrook and Auburn Highlands.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
