Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Grove

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 27.5% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 27.6% against 17.8% nationally. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
