Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Lincoln Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 27.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 27.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10. At $865 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Lincoln Park commands.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $41,389.

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