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 Sunrise East

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.4% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 268 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the AL average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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.
