Analysis
What drives eviction risk in State Fair
Average gross rent is $299, 72% below the Detroit average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 45.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Housing insecurity runs 47.9% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 67%. 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.
This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Wayne County average of 46.6%.
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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
