Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ecorse
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
Housing insecurity runs 28.3% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. It sits 0.8 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Average gross rent is $914, 9% above the Ecorse average. 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 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
