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 Northwest Goldberg

Average gross rent is $386, 64% below the Detroit average. Food insecurity runs 60.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 70.2% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 58%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $12,380, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
