Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastpointe

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10.

It sits 0.8 points above the Macomb County average of 3.9. At $1,443 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Eastpointe commands.

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. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $58,295. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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