East English Village takes in 4 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 12,620. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,657, 54% above the Detroit average of $1,074. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 6, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 20.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10.
15.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 25.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #116 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.
Only 23% 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 McDowell and Minock Park.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $99,167.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
