What drives eviction risk in Denby
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 65.6% against 15.2% nationally. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $34,063, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Disability prevalence runs 47.8% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $1,254 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Detroit commands.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
