Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Norwayne

Cost burden runs around a third here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.1 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Average gross rent is $1,104, close to the Westland average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $66,438. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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