Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fiskhorn

Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Annualized rent equals 56% of average household income of $21,167, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 54.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 55%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Disability prevalence runs 45.2% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $983 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Detroit commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
