Conant Gardens Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,740 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Conant Gardens maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 2,740 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 58.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.

Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 28% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 45.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $924, 14% below the Detroit average of $1,074.

That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $39,875. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 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.
