HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgia Avenue
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.2% against 31.5% nationally.
52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Mobile County average of 43.6%. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 288 eviction filings across 10 observed years. It sits 0.8 points above the Mobile County average of 4.0.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 9.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 5.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
