· range 6–6
Pembroke maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI and houses 1,941 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 63%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 64% against 35.9% citywide, putting Pembroke 28.5% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 50.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Set annual rent against average household income of $48,375 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Average gross rent is $1,362, 27% above the Detroit average of $1,074. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. For a like-for-like read, Chandler Park and Mount Olivet 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.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
