Sterling Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 44.2% across Macomb County. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Macomb County average of 3.9 closely. Average gross rent is $1,333, close to the Sterling Heights average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $71,547.

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.
