Norwayne is a 10-tract neighborhood of Westland, MI and houses 34,089 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Westland rate of 29.3%.
Scores across the 10 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.7. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 23.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent runs $1,090, close to the Westland average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $59,564. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
