Dexter-Linwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 67.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 57.9% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 56%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $16,740 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

At $618 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Highland Park commands.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
