Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Piety Hill
Food insecurity runs 46.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 54.3% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 53%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Set annual rent against average income of $28,523 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Wayne County average of 46.6%. Average gross rent is $873, 19% 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.
Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
