Outer Drive-Hayes Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

SNAP participation runs 70.2% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 41.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $28,304, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $985 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Detroit commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.

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.
