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 University View

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 215 evictions over 13 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2010 at 2.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").
