HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

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 Gayborhood
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions over 4 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.8% of renter households.
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 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
