Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Regent Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Food insecurity runs 40.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.4/10. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

At $1,289 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Detroit commands. 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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, 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.
