Sherwood maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 1,986. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Set annual rent against average household income of $24,202 and the ratio lands at 52%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation is 52.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 36.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. 39% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin. Average gross rent runs $1,057, close to the Detroit average.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
