Woodbridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,778 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Woodbridge maps to a single census tract in Detroit, MI, population 2,778. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,287, 20% above the Detroit average of $1,074.

41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Detroit rate of 35.9%. Among the 130 mapped neighborhoods of Detroit, it ranks #98 by risk, the lower third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $60,239.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
