Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Village
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 36.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 36.3% against 17.8% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $896 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Detroit commands.
It sits 0.6 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
