Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Riverside Heights

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Against the Hillsborough County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 144 filings here across 11 tracked years.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The worst year on record was 2009, when 10.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Tampa. 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 6.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10.

Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
