Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Allen Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6.

Average gross rent is $1,499, 20% above the Allen Park average. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, 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 #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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.
