Regent Park spans 3 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 7,850. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
Food insecurity affects 44.5% of adults, 26.7 points above the national rate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 35.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
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. 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.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,210, 13% above the Detroit average of $1,074.
That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
