What drives eviction risk in Grosse Pointe Woods
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 7.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Wayne County average of 6.4 and below the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
