Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McDougall-Hunt

Food insecurity runs 39.1% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.9/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 46.6% across Wayne County. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Housing insecurity runs 28.7% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $860, 20% below the Detroit average. 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.
