Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jamieson
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 47.2% against 17.8% nationally.
The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 31.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $764 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Detroit commands.
It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Cost burden runs about half here against 46.6% across Wayne County. 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.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
