Eastern Market Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

Food insecurity runs 53.8% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.3% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 58%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 98% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $25,202, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

At $832 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Detroit commands. Cost burden runs 53% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
