Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Wyandotte

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.7/10. At $1,053 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Wyandotte commands.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $68,585.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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