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 East Second Street Historic District

72% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

Against Montgomery County at 42.9%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 1,880 evictions over 17 years of observation. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 7.7% 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 7.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
