Southfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average income of $32,737 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

SNAP participation runs 28.8% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

Average gross rent is $1,079, 19% below the Southfield average. Food insecurity runs 28.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
