Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southwestern Outer Drive

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 25% 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 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,241, close to the Dearborn average.
