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 Glen Aire

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Sangamon County average of 38.5%. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

SNAP participation runs 29.2% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.4/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Sangamon County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 25.6% against 17.8% nationally. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Springfield eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 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.

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.
