Davison maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 1,529. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 82%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 82% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
Food insecurity affects 55.4% of adults, 37.6 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $29,234 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 43%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence reaches 50.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,179, 10% above the Detroit average of $1,074. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.
Only 12% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
