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 Peoria

Cost burden runs 65% here against 45.5% across Peoria County. SNAP participation runs 43.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.5% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Peoria County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

On the high side, economic stress reads 7.2/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. At $875 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Peoria commands.

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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 44% 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.
