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 Michigan-Martin

69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Housing insecurity runs 41.6% against 14.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.3/10.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $904, 16% below the Detroit average. 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.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 10/10 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.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most 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.
