Great Oaks maps to a single census tract in Rochester, MI and houses 2,662 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Rochester rate of 26.7%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 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.
Average gross rent is $1,097, 19% below the Rochester average of $1,350. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. 4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Rochester, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Against average income of $76,082, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 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.
