Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Lyon
34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.6/10. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,125, 14% below the South Lyon average. Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.
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.
