Nortown Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 33.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average income of $29,443 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $882 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Detroit commands. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
