Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverside Highlands

The voucher gap is 46.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,013, 22% above the Rochester Hills average.

SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Oakland County average of 4.0.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $122,917.

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.
