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 Greenfield Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Housing insecurity runs 28.4% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, 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. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.9/10. 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.
