Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverbend
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.
11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 6.9/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $100,222, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
