Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Norwayne

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Food insecurity runs 26.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

At $1,035 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Westland commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% 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 7.2/10, 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.
