What drives eviction risk in Inkster
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points.
Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10.
Housing insecurity runs 34.8% against 14.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $33,554 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10.
Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. 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. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.1 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.
