Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McNichols Evergreen

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Housing insecurity runs 37.4% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.7/10. Cost burden runs 55% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. At $957 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Detroit commands. 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. Only 22% 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.

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