Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 110 filings here across 12 tracked years. Cost burden runs 33% here against 28.0% across Wayne County.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
