HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mapleridge

Food insecurity runs 39.2% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.6 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,073, close to the Detroit average.

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.
