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 Sleepy Hollow

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,167, 19% below the Chicago average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.8% against 11.3% nationally. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 53 filings here across 14 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 24.8% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.6 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 7.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 4.1% 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.
