Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Claytown
Running hot, 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. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.8% against 11.3% nationally.
Disability prevalence runs 47.8% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
