Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wayne
Against Wayne County at 35.5%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10. At $1,009 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Wayne commands.
That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $48,846.
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.
