Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chandler Park

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 80% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 43.0% against 17.8% nationally.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10.

At $802 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Detroit commands. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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