Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McDougall-Hunt

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 35.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $879, 18% below the Detroit average. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

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. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
