Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Lakeland

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 10/10.

Food insecurity runs 50.0% against 17.8% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $38,432 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, economic stress reads 9.4/10.

The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.8/10. 69% 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.

Disability prevalence runs 46.3% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.2 points above the Baltimore City average of 6.8.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

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