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.

Court records carry 661 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 26.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Atlanta.
