Joseph Berry Sub spans 3 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 6,358 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $675 a month, rents sit 37% under what the rest of Detroit commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 21.1% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.5/10. Food insecurity affects 34.0% of adults, 16.2 points above the national rate.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.6 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
That places it #84 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Virginia Park and Mapleridge.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
