Grosse Pointe Woods Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Food insecurity runs 5.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.8/10. 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.

Only 1% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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