84% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Wayne County average of 46.6%. SNAP participation runs 55.9% against 15.2% nationally.
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit.
