Wade Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 3,659 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–6

Wade is a 2-tract neighborhood of Detroit, MI, population 3,659. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 53.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average household income of $33,616 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8/10. At $901 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Detroit commands.

Disability prevalence reaches 44.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. That places it #72 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. For a like-for-like read, Conner Creek and Butler score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 5.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
