Paveway is a 3-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI, population 5,096. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 35.9% citywide, putting Paveway 22.9% over its own city.
34.9% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 40.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 29% 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.
Set annual rent against average household income of $32,359 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 33%. 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.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 6, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7/10.
That places it #98 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. For a like-for-like read, Woodbridge and Art District score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,109, close to the Detroit average.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
