The voucher gap is 101.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $77,107 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.

It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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