· range 6–6
Claytown spans 5 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 12,849. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Annualized rent equals 35% 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%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 46.3% 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 2.3/10. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Mount Olivet. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 5 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,014, 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.
