Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far West Detroit
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,656, 24% above the Dearborn Heights average. The voucher gap is 20.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 14% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $84,740.
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.
