Nolan Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 4,699 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Nolan takes in 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 4,699 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 37.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 57.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 43%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $834, 22% below the Detroit average of $1,074. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

36% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. 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 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $35,522.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
