Buffalo Charles Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

Food insecurity runs 46.6% against 17.8% nationally. 31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $32,369 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Housing insecurity runs 32.5% against 14.2% nationally.

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, 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. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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