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 Springwells

Cost burden runs 33% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Food insecurity runs 36.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.1% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Average gross rent is $838, 22% below the Detroit average. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
