Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Morass-Morang

35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10. SNAP participation runs 24.8% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,538, 14% above the Harper Woods average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 23% 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 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $71,166.

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