Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Wyandotte

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. At $1,321 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Wyandotte commands. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10.

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 #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 12% 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 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $86,964.

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