What drives eviction risk in Barton-McFarland
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Annualized rent equals 52% of average household income of $23,068, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 34.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
Disability prevalence runs 48.2% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 46.6% across Wayne County.
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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
