Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 North Garfield

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.4/10. 94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7. Cost burden runs 52% here against 46.0% across Maricopa County. Court records carry 462 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 8.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Phoenix. 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 7.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
