Miles/Garland maps to a single census tract in Ypsilanti, MI, population 1,770. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Ypsilanti baseline of 33.4%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the high side is economic stress at 8.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 123 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 26.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
14.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 25.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $974, 10% below the Ypsilanti average of $1,080.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Ypsilanti, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 11.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
One tract means one number: 7.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
