Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Boston Edison

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. At $1,332 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

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 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% 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 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $105,505, annual rent is just 15%.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least 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.
