Westwood Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 62.0% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 42.3% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Cost burden runs 61% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $23,542, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

At $755 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Detroit commands. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. 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.

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.
