Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joseph Berry Sub

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Average gross rent is $614, 43% below the Detroit average.

Running hot, economic stress reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Housing insecurity runs 27.0% against 14.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Wayne County average of 46.6%. 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.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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