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 West Side Industrial Park

The voucher gap is 40.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 9/10. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 20%, 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.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. 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. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $93,194.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
