Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cornerstone Village

75% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 34.8% against 15.2% nationally.

At $1,352 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Detroit commands. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
