Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Art District
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
At $1,283 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Detroit commands. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. 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 #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 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 $50,909.
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.
