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 Valentine

This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

At $998 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Kansas City commands. Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,260 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 14.0% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 9.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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