Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Grosse Pointe Farms
Cost burden runs 88% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
The voucher gap is 25.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Food insecurity runs 4.8% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,728, 23% above the Grosse Pointe Farms average.
Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 3% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
