Fox Creek Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,395 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Fox Creek maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 2,395. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. 36.5% 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 64.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $822, 23% below the Detroit average of $1,074.

Cost burden runs 43% against 35.9% citywide, putting Fox Creek 7.2% over its own city. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
