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 Old Southeast

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 660 evictions over 18 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Pinellas County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2005 at 13.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 8.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Average gross rent is $1,738, close to the St. Petersburg average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $88,611.

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.
