HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East English Village

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. At $1,495 a month, rents run 39% over what the rest of Detroit commands. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 28.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $71,250.

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.
