Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far West Detroit
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $46,486 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. At $1,417 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Detroit commands.
Food insecurity runs 33.4% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Housing insecurity runs 27.4% against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Wayne County average of 4.6.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10.
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.
