Analysis

What drives eviction risk in LaSalle College Park

64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Food insecurity runs 42.5% against 17.8% nationally. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

On the high side, economic stress reads 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Average gross rent is $888, 17% below the Detroit average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

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.
