Historical context · 1930s redlining

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 Hazel Green

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 232 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 21.5% of renter households. 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 11.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $85,054, annual rent is just 17%.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
