Greenwich Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,504 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Greenwich maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 4,504 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 35.9% citywide, putting Greenwich 17.0% over its own city.

32% 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. 20.4% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,234, 15% above the Detroit average of $1,074.

That places it #91 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Cadillac Heights and Davison-Schoolcraft score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $57,689.

One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
