What drives eviction risk in Miller Grove
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $21,932, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 34.3% against 14.2% nationally.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
At $751 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Detroit commands. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.1/10.
It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
