Littlefield Eviction Risk: Moderate , Detroit

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 35.4% against 14.2% nationally.

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $43,750, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $1,335 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Detroit commands. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. It sits 0.8 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. 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 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
