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 Central City

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 33.4% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Maricopa County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,280 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Phoenix commands.

Against Maricopa County at 46.0%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 93 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 8.8% of renter households were served. 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 5.0% of renter households face a filing.
