Northeast Central District Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,718 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Northeast Central District maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 1,718 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 52%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 53.3% of adults, 35.5 points above the national rate.

33% 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 47% against 35.9% citywide, putting Northeast Central District 10.7% over its own city. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 47.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

At $893 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Detroit commands. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
