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 South Park

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.8% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.5% across Kane County.

It sits 1.3 points above the Kane County average of 4.1. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3/10. The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,415, 11% below the Aurora average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.4% 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Aurora eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.
