Nardin Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 36.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity runs 55.5% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 30% 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 1/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $824, 23% below the Detroit average. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

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.

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.
