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 Smith Village

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Oklahoma County average of 41.7%. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

At $755 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Oklahoma City commands. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $28,309, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Oklahoma County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.5% against 11.3% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

Statewide the OK average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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