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 Quincy

Cost burden runs 72% here against 48.1% across Norfolk County. It sits 2.9 points above the Norfolk County average of 5.6. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $73,926, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Milton. 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 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.

Average gross rent is $1,973, close to the Quincy average. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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