Housing insecurity runs 30.6% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Wayne County average of 46.6%. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
