Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Davison

82% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Wayne County average of 46.6%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

Housing insecurity runs 40.3% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 35.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average income of $29,234 and the ratio lands at 48%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 43%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,179, 10% above the Detroit 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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10.
