Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norwayne
Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 30.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $890 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Wayne commands. 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 #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
