Springwells Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 20,270 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 4.3–6

Springwells takes in 6 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 20,270. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 38.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 34%, 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. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 6, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

24.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10. Average gross rent is $936, 13% below the Detroit average of $1,074.

Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #72 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Conner Creek and Butler score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $40,575. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
