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 Happy Hours Addition

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $899, 20% above the Portsmouth average.

Cost burden runs 50% here against 43.7% across Scioto County. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Court records carry 247 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.9% of renter households were served.

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 5.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Scioto County average of 4.3 closely.

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.
