· range 5.7–5.7
Brightmoor maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 1,639. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. 25.8% 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.
Food insecurity affects 40.5% of adults, 22.7 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $38,672 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
17% 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. Cost burden runs 43% against 35.9% citywide, putting Brightmoor 6.7% over its own city. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #85 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,062, close to the Detroit average.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
