Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Springwells

SNAP participation runs 43.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $34,125 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 46.5% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $994, 25% below the Dearborn average. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

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.
