Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Delray
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 58.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Set annual rent against average income of $19,279 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.3% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $798, 26% below the Detroit average.
Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.7/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
