Grant Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,594 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Grant is a one-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 1,594 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 69%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Annualized rent equals 57% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 69% against 35.9% citywide, putting Grant 32.6% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 40.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 55.6% of adults, 37.8 points above the national rate.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,068, close to the Detroit average. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
