Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ceredo
Average gross rent is $1,594, 108% above the Ceredo average. The voucher gap is 64.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Wayne County average of 4.3.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 37% of renters.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $82,175.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
