Franklin maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 714. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 32.1% 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 dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 56.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
At $840 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Detroit commands. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. At 26% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
