What drives eviction risk in Conant Gardens
Food insecurity runs 51.3% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.5% against 14.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.
The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $924 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Detroit commands.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
