HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Nolan

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.7% against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $32,798, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Disability prevalence runs 43.6% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $956, 11% below the Detroit average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
