Jamieson Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 2,176 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Jamieson is a 2-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 2,176 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 35.9% citywide, putting Jamieson 17.1% over its own city.

Food insecurity affects 46.4% of adults, 28.6 points above the national rate. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Set annual rent against average household income of $22,622 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $753, 30% below the Detroit average of $1,074. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
