Warrendale Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 8,727 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Warrendale takes in 2 census tracts of Detroit, MI, population 8,727. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 53%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 69% against 35.9% citywide, putting Warrendale 32.6% over its own city. Set annual rent against average household income of $26,832 and the ratio lands at 52%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 59.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 17.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Average gross rent is $1,165, 8% above the Detroit average of $1,074. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
