Medical Center Eviction Risk: Elevated
1 census tracts · pop 2,580 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6
Medical Center maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 2,580. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Food insecurity affects 44.6% of adults, 26.8 points above the national rate. 26.3% 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. This is a renter market: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $712 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Detroit commands.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 22% 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. 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
