Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Fullerton

Cost burden runs 62% here against 43.7% across Scioto County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10. Court records carry 682 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when 15.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Portsmouth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
