Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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 Beecher

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.1/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9/10.

The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.6% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Flint. 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 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

Average gross rent is $837, close to the Beecher average.

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