Old Redford spans 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI and houses 4,766 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 55%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Detroit rate of 35.9%. Food insecurity affects 46.4% of adults, 28.6 points above the national rate.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Set annual rent against average household income of $39,606 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pembroke and Chandler Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
