Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Miller Grove

SNAP participation runs 47.0% against 15.2% nationally. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 46.6% across Wayne County.

Housing insecurity runs 33.3% against 14.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $44,175, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

At $1,418 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Detroit commands. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 0.7 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
