Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hunters Creek

72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Oakland County average of 39.8%. Average gross rent is $1,222, 17% below the Auburn Hills average.

On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
