Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Boynton

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Housing insecurity runs 28.1% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Cost burden runs 52% here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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