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 Farmington Hills

Against Oakland County at 39.8%, 27% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,063 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Farmington Hills commands.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10.

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. Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $77,271, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Oakland County average of 4.0 closely.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
