Milwaukee Junction spans 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 1,620 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Annualized rent equals 114% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
36% 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. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
23.3% 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: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.8/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.7 to 6. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #91 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cadillac Heights and Greenwich.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 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.
