Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hazel Park

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Cost burden runs about half here against 39.8% across Oakland County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,139, 13% below the Hazel Park average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $56,111.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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