South of Six Eviction Risk: Moderate , Detroit

82% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Wayne County average of 46.6%. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $41,471 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 28.5% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
