Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Grosse Pointe Woods

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The voucher gap is 25.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,722, 8% below the Grosse Pointe Woods average. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

Only 20% 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 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
