Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fox Creek

Food insecurity runs 56.1% against 17.8% nationally. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $30,545 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

At $822 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Detroit commands. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10.
