Mount Olivet Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,246 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Mount Olivet maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 4,246. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 52.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.6/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,036, close to the Detroit average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $41,786.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
