Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South of Six

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. SNAP participation runs 38.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $855 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Detroit commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 7/10. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $42,127.

51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
