Trenton Eviction Risk: Lower

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. Average gross rent is $1,077, 22% above the Trenton average.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
