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 Paveway

around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Set annual rent against average income of $20,142 and the ratio lands at 77%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 40.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 45.4% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 53%. 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. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,295, 21% above 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. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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