Southfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Oakland County at 39.8%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $42,465, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.

71% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,261, 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.
