East Village takes in 3 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 4,010 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
SNAP participation is 44.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 42.0% of adults, 24.2 points above the national rate. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $831 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Detroit commands.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.6 to 6, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the high side is economic stress at 7.4/10.
Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #85 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brightmoor and McDougall-Hunt.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 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.
