Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Clawson

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,509, 20% above the Clawson average.

Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $96,645.

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.
