1 census tracts · pop 4,490 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Ford Homes Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Dearborn, MI and houses 4,490 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. At $806 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Dearborn commands.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Dearborn, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fort Dearborn Manor and North Dearborn Park.

41% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Against average income of $82,957, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
