Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westgate

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Lucas County average of 41.3%.

The filing record is not thin: 948 evictions over 15 years of observation. Against the Lucas County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2014, when 15.1% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 8.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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