Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Harmony Village

Food insecurity runs 44.0% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

At $1,228 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Detroit commands. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.

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