Lafayette Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Detroit

At $1,387 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Detroit commands. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $56,016. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
