Greenfield Eviction Risk: Moderate , Southfield

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 nearby. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Against Oakland County at 39.8%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.9 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

Set annual rent against average income of $49,063 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. SNAP participation runs 22.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Average gross rent is $1,352, close to the Southfield average.

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.
