McDougall-Hunt Eviction Risk: Moderate , Detroit

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 100% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 36.7% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $785, 27% below the Detroit average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 0.7 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
