Whispering Winds maps to a single census tract in Troy, MI and houses 6,543 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $3,000, 87% above the Troy average of $1,602.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 117.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 24% of renter households. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Troy. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $158,092.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
