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 Millwork District

88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 7.9/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

Against the Dubuque County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 230 evictions over 3 years of observation. Average gross rent is $827, 13% below the Dubuque average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.3% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dubuque. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
