Royal Oak Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $2,168 a month, rents run 57% over what the rest of Royal Oak commands. The voucher gap is 57.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 37% of renters.

It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
