Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Henry Ford

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Average gross rent is $765, 29% below the Detroit average. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $46,250.

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.
