Miller Grove takes in 3 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 5,717. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 49.6% of adults, 31.8 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $33,507 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Disability prevalence reaches 44.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Average gross rent is $1,176, 9% above the Detroit average of $1,074. That places it #91 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cadillac Heights and Greenwich.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
