Woodward East Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated

This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 18.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Against a Detroit baseline of 35.9%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $901, 16% below the Detroit average of $1,074.

That places it #3 of 130 neighborhoods in Detroit. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chandler Park and Michigan-Martin.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
