Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fitzgerald/Marygrove

SNAP participation runs 65.0% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 40.8% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $30,206 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
