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

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.7/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 45.5% across Kane County. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.0% against 11.3% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 23.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Kane County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Aurora. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $65,089.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
