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 Norwayne

32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Average gross rent is $770, 21% below the Wayne average. SNAP participation runs 22.9% against 15.2% nationally.

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

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $53,542, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Wayne County average of 4.6 closely.
