Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fiskhorn

Housing insecurity runs 38.4% against 14.2% nationally. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Against Wayne County at 46.6%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $30,788, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Average gross rent is $943, 12% below the Detroit average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
