Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Aviation Sub

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 72% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 32.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $40,781, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,171 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
