Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Farmington Hills

The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 50% here against 39.8% across Oakland County.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,453, close to the Farmington Hills average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $61,881.

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