Southfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 32% here against 39.8% across Oakland County. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 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 least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,432, close to the Southfield average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $66,849. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
