Martin Park maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 3,825 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 35.9% citywide, putting Martin Park 24.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
SNAP participation is 45.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 26.1% 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.
The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Mount Olivet.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,106, close to the Detroit average.
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.
