Arden Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Highland Park

The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.6/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

Housing insecurity runs 27.2% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. At $850 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Detroit commands.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 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 9.3/10, 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 housing type and transport 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.
