Kensington Forest Eviction Risk: Lower , Rochester Hills

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Oakland County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10. The voucher gap is 12.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $118,926, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
