Analysis

What drives eviction risk in I-94 Industrial Park

The severe-burden share is 36%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 47.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $32,708, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 44.4% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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