Godwin Heights spans 7 census tracts of Wyoming, MI and houses 34,448 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 31.2% citywide, putting Godwin Heights 24.0% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. At $941 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Wyoming commands.
Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 4.1 to 5.4. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
