· range 3–6
Morass-Morang spans 7 census tracts of Harper Woods, MI, population 25,953. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Harper Woods rate of 26.8%.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 25.4% 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. The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 6, a 3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Food insecurity affects 38.7% of adults, 20.9 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,280, close to the Harper Woods average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $51,976.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
