Southfield Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,486, 11% above the Southfield average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $105,385, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
