Michigan-Martin Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 31.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $970, 10% below the Detroit average. 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 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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.
