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 The Campground
SNAP participation runs 39.4% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 55% here against 43.6% across Mobile County.
Set annual rent against average income of $27,026 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. At $804 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Mobile commands.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.9/10.
It sits 1.0 points above the Mobile County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 185 filings here across 10 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Mobile. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
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.
