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 Phoenix

Cost burden runs around a third here against 46.0% across Maricopa County. Adults with no health insurance runs 32.2% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,234, 22% below the Phoenix average. It sits 1.3 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7.

Court records carry 146 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 10.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 8.6% of renter households face a filing.

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