Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milwaukee Junction

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $36,974, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 21.7% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. about half of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. 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.
