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 Oak Grove

Food insecurity runs 44.0% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.

Average gross rent is $720, 39% below the Greensboro average. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Housing insecurity runs 33.0% against 14.2% nationally. 74% 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. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

20% 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 Guilford County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Guilford County average of 44.7%.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,746 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 33.3% 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 25.2% of renter households face a filing.

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