The Eye Eviction Risk: Lower , Detroit

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, regional political climate reads 6.9/10.

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 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 24% 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 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

50% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent runs $1,363 a month.

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