Piety Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI, population 1,286. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 54.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 34.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average household income of $28,523 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $873, 19% below the Detroit average of $1,074. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Mount Olivet.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
