Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Wyandotte

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. It sits 1.5 points below the Wayne County average of 4.6. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Detroit.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $61,641, annual rent is just 18%.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $900, close to the Wyandotte average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
