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 Eastpointe

SNAP participation runs 36.7% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $46,966 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Against the Macomb County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Food insecurity runs 33.8% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7/10. 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 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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.
