Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Old Redford

73% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Wayne County average of 46.6%. SNAP participation runs 48.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 43.5% against 17.8% nationally.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $1,188 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Detroit commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
