Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Paveway

Housing insecurity runs 32.1% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,005, close to the Detroit average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $46,469.

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