On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,066, 10% above the Wyandotte average of $972.
Against average income of $65,526, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
