Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Newport

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. At $882 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Newport commands.

The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $64,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 39% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
