HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Wyandotte

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10.

At $1,075 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Wyandotte commands. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 46% 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 4.8/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.

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