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 Oreland

Cost burden runs 100% here against 42.6% across Montgomery County. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.4/10. Against the Montgomery County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 76 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 35.4% of renter households were served.

At $1,151 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Oreland commands. 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 15.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
