Southfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

It sits 1.9 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 25.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,567 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Southfield commands. Food insecurity runs 25.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 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.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters.

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