What drives eviction risk in College Park
SNAP participation runs 49.9% against 15.2% nationally. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Set annual rent against average income of $25,879 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, economic stress reads 9/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
At $877 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Detroit 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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
