Fiskhorn Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 28,474 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.5–6

Fiskhorn takes in 6 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 28,474 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 35.9% citywide, putting Fiskhorn 18.1% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 25.2% 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. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average household income of $37,483 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7/10.

That places it #72 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 6 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Average gross rent runs $1,051, close to the Detroit average. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
