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 Duke Park

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Durham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Court records carry 3,639 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 61.8% of renter households.

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 46.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
