3 census tracts · pop 13,410 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4.4–6

Burns Park takes in 3 census tracts of Ann Arbor, MI and houses 13,410 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Ann Arbor baseline of 37.4%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.4 to 6. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Court records carry 46 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.

SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 5.0% of renter households. At $1,543 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Ann Arbor commands. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Ann Arbor, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
