Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Schoolcraft Southfield
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 57.5% against 15.2% nationally.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. 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.
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. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
