Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wayne

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,082, 11% above the Wayne average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
