HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 East Village
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 169 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 3.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
