What drives eviction risk in Corktown
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 67% 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. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,260, 17% above the Detroit average. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 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. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 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 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
