What drives eviction risk in Chinatown
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 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.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $54,482, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
The voucher gap is 18.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 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.
Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
