City Airport is a one-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 3,119 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 57.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 51.2% of adults, 33.4 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.6/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,250 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,173 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Detroit commands. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
Only 27% 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. For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
