Regent Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $42,537 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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