HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gratiot-Findlay

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Food insecurity runs 33.4% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.8% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. 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. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
