Volks Eviction Risk: Lower , Dearborn Heights

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

Average gross rent is $1,611, 21% above the Dearborn Heights average. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.

Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. 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. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 18% 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 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
