Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lincoln Park

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

At $846 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Lincoln Park commands. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $49,899. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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