McDougall-Hunt is a 3-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI, population 3,442. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 35.9% citywide, putting McDougall-Hunt 20.8% over its own city.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity affects 36.7% of adults, 18.9 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $843, 22% below the Detroit average of $1,074.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #85 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $54,411, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 3 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
