Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southgate

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 14% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,182, close to the Southgate average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $75,511.

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