Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Banglatown
SNAP participation runs 39.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.
Cost burden runs 37% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
