What drives eviction risk in Southfield
25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,369, close to the Southfield average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $78,982.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
