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 Stewart Ridge

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 505 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,139, 12% below the Calumet Park average.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 12.8% of renter households. 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 10.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10.
