Sherwood is a 4-tract neighborhood of Warren, MI, population 8,308. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Warren rate of 32.9%.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
18.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 31.6% of adults, 13.8 points above the national rate.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Warren. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,249, close to the Warren average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $52,561. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
