Northwest Goldberg Eviction Risk: Elevated

41.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $386, 64% below the Detroit average of $1,074. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 46% against 35.9% citywide, putting Northwest Goldberg 10.3% over its own city.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. 19% 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.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
