Greenfield maps to a single census tract in Southfield, MI and houses 1,252 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Southfield rate of 32.7%.
85% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
15.0% 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. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Southfield. For a like-for-like read, Five Points and O'Hair Park score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,352, close to the Southfield average.
One tract means one number: 5.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
