Banglatown is a 3-tract neighborhood of Hamtramck, MI and houses 9,375 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. SNAP participation is 44.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 30.8% citywide, putting Banglatown 8.4% over its own city. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $879 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Hamtramck commands.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $37,465.
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.
