Evergreen-Outer Drive Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,666 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4.2–6

Evergreen-Outer Drive takes in 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 5,666 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.

The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 40.0% of adults, 22.2 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 6, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

At $1,342 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Detroit commands. That places it #109 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. Only 26% 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.

For a like-for-like read, Bagley and Westwood Park score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $63,328.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
