Greektown Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,332 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Greektown is a one-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 2,332 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,762 a month, rents sit 64% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

This is a renter market: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 15% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.8/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #129 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, University District and Indian Village score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $86,250.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
