Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Pembroke

SNAP participation runs 31.7% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.7 points above the Oakland County average of 4.0.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Oakland County average of 39.8%.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 22.9% against 14.2% nationally.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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