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 Cairo

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against Hillsborough County at 51.5%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened. Disability prevalence runs 17.7% against 31.5% nationally.

The voucher gap is 20.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Hillsborough County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 137 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

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