Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklin
Against Wayne County at 46.6%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Food insecurity runs 50.9% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $29,773 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Average gross rent is $840, 22% below the Detroit average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
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.
