O'Hair Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI, population 5,348. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 47%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Detroit rate of 35.9%. SNAP participation is 47.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 43.2% of adults, 25.4 points above the national rate. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,320, 23% above the Detroit average of $1,074.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.8/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.8 to 6, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #95 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Hubbard Richard and Hubbard Farms score within a fraction of it.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
