Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Warrendale

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 79% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Set annual rent against average income of $26,694 and the ratio lands at 51%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 60%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 37.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the softer side, 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.
