Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Five Points

Food insecurity runs 42.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 46.8% against 15.2% nationally.

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $922, 14% below the Detroit average. 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 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
