HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jefferson Chalmers

The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.4% against 11.3% nationally. Cost burden runs 42% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. On the high side, regional political climate reads 6.9/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $122,095, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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.
