North Village Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,448 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

North Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI and houses 1,448 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $21,840 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 55%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

SNAP participation is 60.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

30% 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. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 35.9% citywide, putting North Village 11.5% over its own city.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Average gross rent is $908, 15% below the Detroit average of $1,074. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
