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 Erlanger

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 0.8 points below the Kenton County average of 3.8.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $95,388, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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