University District Eviction Risk: Lower , Detroit

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

It sits 1.4 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $986 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Detroit commands.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $106,146, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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