Jefferson Chalmers Eviction Risk: Moderate , Detroit

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 35.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,103, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

It sits 1.0 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
