Dexter-Linwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

SNAP participation runs 48.2% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 76% 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. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Average gross rent is $893, 17% below the Detroit average. 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 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
