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 North Lincoln

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.3/10. 91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Cost burden runs about half here against 43.9% across Lancaster County.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Lancaster County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 217 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.6% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lincoln. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
