Castle Rouge Eviction Risk: Elevated , Detroit

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $32,727 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 31.1% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.3/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

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.
