Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wolverine Lake

The voucher gap is 45.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.6/10. 32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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