Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Grosse Pointe

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Food insecurity runs 5.7% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2.3/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $160,388, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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