Dexter-Linwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

Annualized rent equals 63% of average household income of $24,077, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 46.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,270, 18% above the Detroit average.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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