Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far West Detroit
Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
