Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cadillac Heights

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Disability prevalence runs 45.6% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

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. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

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