Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ecorse

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Food insecurity runs 36.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 26.0% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. Average gross rent is $910, 8% above the Ecorse average.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
