Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Florida Avenue Heights

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 62% here against 51.5% across Hillsborough County.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.2 points above the Hillsborough County average of 4.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 393 filings here across 11 tracked years. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.5% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2000 at 18.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 6.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
