HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 419 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 12.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Montgomery.
