Kerrytown is a 2-tract neighborhood of Ann Arbor, MI and houses 5,085 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 46% 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.
58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Ann Arbor rate of 37.4%. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Court records carry 41 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. The voucher gap is 11.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 2.6% of renter households. At $1,794 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Ann Arbor commands. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Ann Arbor, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
With little internal variation, 7.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
