Southfield Eviction Risk: Lower

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 16% 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 3.7/10. Against average income of $117,375, annual rent is just 15%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,444, close to the Southfield average.

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.
