Dexter-Linwood Eviction Risk: Elevated

Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 43%. 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 9.4/10.

Cost burden runs 48% against 35.9% citywide, putting Dexter-Linwood 12.1% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

At $849 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Detroit commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. That places it #2 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 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.
