Bethune Eviction Risk: Elevated
2 census tracts · pop 5,479 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6
Bethune takes in 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 5,479. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 46%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Annualized rent equals 72% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 30.9% 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 poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.6/10. Disability prevalence reaches 44.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Mount Olivet score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,062, close to the Detroit average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
