Hawthorne Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

SNAP participation runs 42.4% against 15.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.3/10.

The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $901, 16% below 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. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
