Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fiskhorn

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 41.4% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $32,531, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Wayne County average of 46.6%.

Housing insecurity runs 27.6% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,196, 11% above the Detroit average. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
