This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $82,370, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
