Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fiskhorn
SNAP participation runs 58.2% against 15.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.8/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 33.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.
The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $30,742, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $845, 21% below the Detroit average.
Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened. 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
