Chinatown Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Cost burden runs 37% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,110, close to the Detroit average.

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