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

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 35% here against 39.8% across Oakland County.

Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 3.1/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $86,711, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,274, close to the Clawson average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
