What drives eviction risk in Boynton
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,298 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Detroit commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.
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.
