Historical context · 1930s redlining

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 Garden District

This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The voucher gap is 25.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,327, 22% above the Montgomery average.

Cost burden runs 36% here against 42.8% across Montgomery County. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions over 9 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 9.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Montgomery. 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 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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