What drives eviction risk in Claytown
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 45.5% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.9% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
At $966 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Detroit commands. 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.
