Gratiot Town/Kettering Eviction Risk: Elevated

SNAP participation is 52.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 46.1% of adults, 28.3 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Set annual rent against average household income of $36,488 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,378 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Cost burden runs 42% against 35.9% citywide, putting Gratiot Town/Kettering 6.0% over its own city.

Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin score within a fraction of it. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
