What drives eviction risk in Medical Center
The poverty rate is 53%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Set annual rent against average income of $20,231 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.
Average gross rent is $712, 34% below the Detroit average. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally.
Disability prevalence runs 46.0% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
