In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable").

In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
