Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Allen Park

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10. Cost burden runs 42% here against 46.6% across Wayne County.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10. It sits 0.7 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,066, close to the Lincoln Park average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $60,956.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
