Oakwood Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Dearborn

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,540, 39% above the Melvindale average. Set annual rent against average income of $42,719 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

SNAP participation runs 36.3% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 34.5% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.8/10.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.

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.
