Warrendale is a west-side sector that combines very low owner estimates with some of the highest rents in Detroit. Owners put their homes at $57,000, ninth in the ranking and under the city's $83,900, while renters pay $1,180, second-highest and past Detroit's $1,074. Owners hold 53.5% of households, a bit above the city share of 50.3%. Nearly all of its housing, 96%, goes back before 1980, and the middle house rose in 1948. Next door, Franklin Park has the same $57,000 but lower rent at $1,090, Warren Ave Community is at $67,000 with $1,070, and Barton-McFarland at $64,000 asks $1,160. Few sectors here show a wider gap between values and rents than Warrendale does. With 18,084 residents it is the second-most populous of the Detroit sectors here, and its 96% of pre-1980 homes shows how little recent building the sector has seen, though rents are well ahead of those in most neighbouring sectors.
