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 Pilgrim Village

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 35% here against 46.6% across Wayne County.

Housing insecurity runs 31.3% against 14.2% nationally. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. At $918 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Detroit commands.

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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
