Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade A meant wealthy, predominantly white neighborhoods favored for lending. 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 Forest Hill

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 17.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Pulaski County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,210 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Little Rock commands. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Little Rock. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
