Sherwood Forest Eviction Risk: Lower , Ferndale

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally.

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. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 21% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $106,927, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition 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.
