Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Boynton
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 31.1% against 17.8% nationally.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 25.4% against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely. Average gross rent is $895, close to the Ecorse average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
