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 Riverside

The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $36,715 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

SNAP participation runs 29.7% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,136, 17% above the Evansville average.

It sits 0.9 points above the Vanderburgh County average of 3.7. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Evansville. 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 #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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.
