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 Mills

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.7% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,173, 31% below the Tampa average.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $41,181, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.2 points above the Hillsborough County average of 4.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 805 filings here across 11 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2009 at 32.6% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 23.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
