Schoolcraft Southfield takes in 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 3,946. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Detroit rate of 35.9%.
30.3% 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 35.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,626 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Pembroke and Chandler Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
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.
