Morass-Morang Eviction Risk: Elevated , Harper Woods

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, roughly three in four of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 70.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 62.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $30,856, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,303, 21% above the Detroit average.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
