Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beecher

Food insecurity runs 44.5% against 17.8% nationally. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. 31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9/10.

Housing insecurity runs 31.6% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $976, close to the Beecher average.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $39,283.

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.
