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 JeffVanderLou

SNAP participation runs 46.8% against 15.2% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 50.5% against 31.5% nationally. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Court records carry 764 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 14.1% of renter households were served. 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. In a typical year about 11.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
