Cranbrook takes in 3 census tracts of Ann Arbor, MI, population 9,246. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. The voucher gap is 40.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,251, 37% above the Ann Arbor average of $1,649. 28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 8.4/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.4 to 6.3. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Cost burden runs 43% against 37.4% citywide, putting Cranbrook 5.9% over its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
Court records carry 47 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. 4.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
That places it #8 of 13 neighborhoods in Ann Arbor.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.4 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.
