Palmer Park Apartment District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Highland Park

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. At $1,083 a month, rents run 57% over what the rest of Highland Park commands.

The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Food insecurity runs 39.8% against 17.8% nationally.

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10.

Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. 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 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
