Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Crescent Springs

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Covington. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $72,458, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Kenton County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $963, close to the Crescent Springs average.

26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
