Dexter Fields takes in 2 census tracts of Dexter, MI and houses 4,720 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Dexter rate of 31.8%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,189, 32% below the Dexter average of $1,761.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.7% of adults, 12.1 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Only 21% 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. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
