Cornerstone Village spans 5 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 17,390. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3 to 6. A 3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 45% against 35.9% citywide, putting Cornerstone Village 9.2% over its own city. That places it #121 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Palmer Woods and Castle Rouge score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,020, close to the Detroit average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
