North Corktown maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 1,133. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 35.9% citywide, putting North Corktown 25.7% over its own city.
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 48.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 33%. 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 43.0% of adults, 25.2 points above the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $856, 20% below the Detroit average of $1,074. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
