HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Allen Park

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $102,138, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
