Farwell spans 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 4,098 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 51.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $46,643 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $1,317 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Detroit commands.
Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
