Wildwood takes in 3 census tracts of Ann Arbor, MI and houses 8,936 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 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.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 44% against 37.4% citywide, putting Wildwood 6.6% over its own city. The voucher gap is 19.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $1,920 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Ann Arbor commands. Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. Court records carry 26 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. 3.5% 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 3.4% of renter households. Running hot is supply constraint at 7/10. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Ann Arbor, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
