Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Central Business District

Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $22,063, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 36.2% against 17.8% nationally.

This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $741 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Peoria commands. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.5% across Peoria County.

Housing insecurity runs 26.0% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

Against the Peoria County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

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.
