Hawthorne Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,608 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Hawthorne Park maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 1,608 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 42.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. about a quarter of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Detroit rate of 35.9%.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 30.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $901 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Detroit commands. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $41,960. 32% 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.
