Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Allen Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.8/10. At $1,128 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Allen Park commands.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $90,984, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
