Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,199, 23% above the Wyandotte average.

Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 46.6% across Wayne County. Against the Wayne County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. 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.

Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $64,224.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
