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 East Bluff

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 45.0% against 15.2% nationally.

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $28,544, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $806 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Peoria commands. It sits 1.1 points above the Peoria County average of 4.3.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 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.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
