Southgate Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,479, 32% above the Southgate average. It sits 1.3 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $76,348.

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