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 Flint

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 68.4% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 67%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 54.3% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $27,917, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.3% across Genesee County. Against the Genesee County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

At $786 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Flint commands. 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 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
