Analysis

What drives eviction risk in O'Hair Park

Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 38.8% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,371 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Detroit commands.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. 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.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, 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.

It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.

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