Henry Ford Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 5,841 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 4.7–6

Henry Ford is a 3-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 5,841 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 35.9% citywide, putting Henry Ford 18.0% over its own city.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

At $837 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Detroit commands. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 4.7 to 6. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. SNAP participation is 28.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Food insecurity affects 28.0% of adults, 10.2 points above the national rate. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #102 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Blackstone Park and Corktown score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $43,390.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
