Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Southeast Seminole Heights

Set annual rent against average income of $43,904 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 428 evictions over 11 years of observation. Against the Hillsborough County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2000, when 21.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 13.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, 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.
