Paveway Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 38.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

Set annual rent against average income of $32,955 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $977 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Detroit commands.

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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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.
