What drives eviction risk in Buffalo Charles
SNAP participation runs 51.1% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $30,323 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $974, 9% below the Detroit average.
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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
