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 Burbank

around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Cook County average of 45.6%. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.8/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 109 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 8.9% 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,285, close to the Burbank average.

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