Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fitzgerald/Marygrove

SNAP participation runs 64.5% against 15.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 46.6% across Wayne County.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Average gross rent is $982, 9% below the Detroit average. 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 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
