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 Saginaw

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 61.6% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $22,901 and the ratio lands at 47%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Disability prevalence runs 53.4% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9.1/10. Against Saginaw County at 48.1%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 1.7 points above the Saginaw County average of 4.3. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

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

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